I have considered one of those for my Mountain bike made commuter due to the water proof and hard shell that mud would clean off of easily.

See if this link works. http://www.amazon.com/Swagman-Whee-R...ef=cm_cmu_pg_t
Yeah, PB's Escape Pod, the Swagman, and Sunlite's version is pretty much the same design. For a bit more $, the Cargo Cache looks a bit nicer.

I've thought about using one of these, but I haven't due to basically two reasons: a) not sure if the local transit service (bus) would be okay with it, since you are *supposed* to strip the bike of anything that could fall off. Since it's bolted to the rack, it's not likely to go anywhere, but if it has anything in it, it would raise the C.O.G./C.O.M., and b) only have one bike, I want to leave it as versatile as possible.
